NAME

       deltadb_query - query historical data stored by the catalog server.

SYNOPSIS

       deltadb_query  --db  [source_directory]  --from  [starttime]  --to  [endtime]  [--filter [expr]] [--where
       [expr]] [--output [expr]]

DESCRIPTION

       deltadb_query is a tool that examines and displays historical data of the catalog server.  (If given  the
       -H option, the catalog server will record historical data in a format known as DeltaDB, hence the name of
       this  tool.)   The  results  can  be  displayed  as  a  stream of time-ordered updates or as summaries of
       properties across all records over time.  This is useful for reporting, for example, the total  resources
       and clients served by a large collection of servers over the course of a year.

       A paper entitled DeltaDB describes the operation of the tools in detail (see reference below).

ARGUMENTS

        --db path
               Query this database directory.

        --file path
               Query the data stream in this file.

        --from time
               (required) The starting date and time of the query in an absolute time like "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
              or  "YYYY-MM-DD"  or a relative time like 5s, 5m, 5h, 5d to indicate five seconds, minutes, hours,
              or days ago, respectively.

        --to time
               The ending time of the query, in the same format as the --from option.  If omitted,  the  current
              time is assumed.

        --every interval
               The  intervals  at which output should be produced, like 5s, 5m, 5h, 5d to indicate five seconds,
              minutes, hours, or days ago, respectively.

        --epoch
               Causes the output to be expressed in integer Unix epoch time, instead of a formatted time.

        --filter expr
               (multiple) If given, only records matching this expression will be processed.   Use  --filter  to
              apply expressions that do not change over time, such as the name or type of a record.

        --where expr
                (multiple)  If  given,  only records matching this expression will be displayed.  Use --where to
              apply expressions that may change over time, such as load average or storage space consumed.

        --output expr
               (multiple) Display this expression on the output.

EXAMPLES

       To show 1 week worth of history starting on 15 April 2013:

               % deltadb_query --db /data/catalog.history --from 2013-04-15 --to 2015-04-22

       To show all history after 1 March 2013:

               % deltadb_query --db /data/catalog.history --from 2013-03-01

       To show the names of fred's servers where load5 exceeds 2.0:

               % deltadb_query --db /data/catalog.history --from 2013-03-01 --filter 'owner=="fred"' --where 'load5>2.0' --output name --output load5

       To show the average load of all servers owned by fred at one hour intervals:

               % deltadb_query --db /data/catalog.history --from 2013-03-01 --filter 'owner=="fred"' --output 'AVERAGE(load5)' --every 1h

       The raw event output of a query can be saved to a file, and then queried using the --file  option,  which
       can accelerate operations on reduced data.  For example:

               % deltadb_query --db /data/catalog.history --from 2014-01-01 --to 2015-01-01 --filter 'type=="wq_master"' > wq.data
               % deltadb_query --file wq.data --from 2014-01-01 --output 'COUNT(name)' --output 'MAX(tasks_running)'
